Bonny Doon Vineyard Albariño Ca' del Solo 2003

Bonny Doon, the famous winery established by groundbreaking California winemaker Randall Grahm, is focusing on biodynamically grown grapes and lesser-known varietals. This Albarino, from the Monterey area, proves that the approach is working.

We ordered this while having a fabulous dinner at the Wellington Gastropub last night. It's light-bodied and refreshingly tart, with steely lemon-lime notes and a long acidic finish. Everybody loved it, and it paired easily with the vegetarian and fish dishes around the table.
